Leuven Tolerogenic Protocol for Intestinal Transplantation

An immunomodulatory protocol, experimentally-proven to promote T-regulatory dependent graft protective mechanisms was applied in a clinical cohort of 13 intestinal transplant recipients to activate - in a protolerogenic environment - T-regulatory cells.

This protocol is the standard of care in the investigators intestinal transplant programme since the first intestinal transplant was performed in october 2000.
